Puerto Rico - Rules - Playing the Game

The game is played over several rounds (about 15). Each round is played in the same way. The player with the governor card begins. He takes one of the role cards, places it face-up next to his player board, and takes the action allowed by that role card. Then his left neighbour takes the action allowed by that role card, and so on round the table, in clockwise order, until every player has taken this action once.

Next, the left neighbour of the governor takes his turn: he takes one of the remaining role cards, places it face-up next to his player board, and takes the action allowed by that role card. Then, his left neighbour takes the action allowed by that role card, and so on around the table, in clockwise order, until every player has taken this action once. Then, his left neighbour takes a role card, and so on until all players have taken a role card and all players taken the actions allowed by the role cards taken.

Next, place one doubloon on each of the three role cards that were not taken by a player during the round. Then, place the used role cards back on the table next to the unused cards. The left neighbour of the player with the governor card takes the governor card, becoming the governor for the next round. He begins the round and the game continues as before.

The next player chooses a role card and all players take the associated action as before.

At the end of a round, place 1 doubloon on the unused role cards.

The governor card goes to the next player in clockwise order, and the game continues.
